Labor Day weekend is always a time of both anticipation as well as trepidation.

Apart from the usual variables, COVID has brought us new generations of high school students who learned under very challenging different conditions from their predecessors.
I am delighted to report that when I met with entering students to discuss the common reading on Friday, they were very engaged, interested, and interesting. A good omen for the first-semester seminar I have to teach

@CitizenWald @rjblaskiewicz @histodons Hampshire admissions staff were incredibly humane when I applied there years ago. It was probably the most personal and friendly interview experience I've ever had (including job interviews later), and when my early decision application was deferred they seemed to sincerely care when I wrote to them to explain how much I wanted to go there and how my record had improved since my junior year of high school.
